A vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 is of high urgency. Here the safety and immunogenicity induced by a DNA vaccine (INO-4800) targeting the full length spike antigen of SARS-CoV-2 are described.
INO-4800 was evaluated in two groups of 20 participants, receiving either 1.0 mg or 2.0 mg of vaccine intradermally followed by CELLECTRA® EP at 0 and 4 weeks. Thirty-nine subjects completed both doses; one subject in the 2.0 mg group discontinued trial participation prior to receiving the second dose. ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT04336410.
The median age was 34.5, 55% (22/40) were men and 82.5% (33/40) white. Through week 8, only 6 related Grade 1 adverse events in 5 subjects were observed. None of these increased in frequency with the second administration. No serious adverse events were reported. All 38 subjects evaluable for immunogenicity had cellular and/or humoral immune responses following the second dose of INO-4800. By week 6, 95% (36/38) of the participants seroconverted based on their responses by generating binding (ELISA) and/or neutralizing antibodies (PRNT IC), with responder geometric mean binding antibody titers of 655.5 [95% CI (255.6, 1681.0)] and 994.2 [95% CI (395.3, 2500.3)] in the 1.0 mg and 2.0 mg groups, respectively. For neutralizing antibody, 78% (14/18) and 84% (16/19) generated a response with corresponding geometric mean titers of 102.3 [95% CI (37.4, 280.3)] and 63.5 [95% CI (39.6, 101.8)], in the respective groups. By week 8, 74% (14/19) and 100% (19/19) of subjects generated T cell responses by IFN-ɣ ELISpot assay with the median SFU per 10 PBMC of 46 [95% CI (21.1, 142.2)] and 71 [95% CI (32.2, 194.4)] in the 1.0 mg and 2.0 mg groups, respectively. Flow cytometry demonstrated a T cell response, dominated by CD8 T cells co-producing IFN-ɣ and TNF-α, without increase in IL-4.
INO-4800 demonstrated excellent safety and tolerability and was immunogenic in 100% (38/38) of the vaccinated subjects by eliciting either or both humoral or cellular immune responses.

研发针对严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)的疫苗迫在眉睫。本文描述了一种针对SARS-CoV-2全长刺突抗原的DNA疫苗(INO-4800)所诱导的安全性和免疫原性。
INO-4800在两组各20名参与者中进行评估,分别皮内注射1.0毫克或2.0毫克疫苗,随后在第0周和第4周使用CELLECTRA® EP。39名受试者完成了两剂接种;2.0毫克组中有一名受试者在接受第二剂之前退出了试验。ClinicalTrials.gov标识符:NCT04336410。
中位年龄为34.5岁,55%(22/40)为男性,82.5%(33/40)为白人。到第8周,仅在5名受试者中观察到6例相关的1级不良事件。这些事件在第二次给药后频率均未增加。未报告严重不良事件。所有38名可评估免疫原性的受试者在接种第二剂INO-4800后均产生了细胞和/或体液免疫反应。到第6周,基于结合(酶联免疫吸附测定)和/或中和抗体(微量中和试验半数抑制浓度)反应,95%(36/38)的参与者血清转化,1.0毫克组和2.0毫克组中反应者结合抗体几何平均滴度分别为655.5 [95%置信区间(255.6,1681.0)]和994.2 [95%置信区间(395.3,2500.3)]。对于中和抗体,相应组中分别有78%(14/18)和84%(16/19)产生反应,几何平均滴度分别为102.3 [95%置信区间(37.4,280.3)]和63.5 [95%置信区间(39.6,101.8)]。到第8周,通过干扰素-γ酶联免疫斑点试验,1.0毫克组和2.0毫克组中分别有74%(14/19)和100%(19/19)的受试者产生T细胞反应,每10个外周血单核细胞的中位斑点形成单位分别为46 [95%置信区间(21.1,142.2)]和71 [95%置信区间(32.2,194.4)]。流式细胞术显示T细胞反应,以共同产生干扰素-γ和肿瘤坏死因子-α的CD8 T细胞为主,白细胞介素-4未增加。
INO-4800表现出优异的安全性和耐受性,并且通过引发体液或细胞免疫反应中的一种或两种,在100%(38/38)的接种受试者中具有免疫原性。
